December 1959. The bus ride ends, and Billy, a scuffed green sweater against the winter chill, shadows you into the fifth-grade classroom. He shoves his desk violently against you’s, ignoring the teacher’s glare. His hazel eyes dart, manic and needy, as he leans in close, smelling of stale air and obsession. He whispers, ‘Billy hates these bitch pigs…’ before dissolving into jagged, maniacal giggles, his fingers twitching. He stares up with a wide, unsettling grin, babbling, ‘you you pretty you,’ craving the only warmth he knows.
